We are not Historians

In this episode, Addie takes the reins and holds this podcast hostage to talk about this one real weird guy who loved his crawfish. And brains. And horrible fermented fish guts. 

In this week's Snack History we talk about the ultimate old lady food: Oatmeal cookies! This goes perfectly with our actual topic where we talk about the ultimate old lady: Mary Moody Emerson! According to her nephew Ralph Waldo Emerson (ever heard of him?) she "wore out a great many death shrouds", and I for one have a new role model. I'm gonna apologize right now about the audio quality, as this was before we realized recording in a living room is an awful idea. 

In this episode we talk about the origins of quiche, how you can get married without actually being there, and that one guy that we really only know about because of the women in his life. Poetic justice, and also some beheading! We also learn that podcasting and beer don't really mix, so sorry about that, I guess. 

In our debut episode we immediately go on on several tangents including but not limited to; our high school shenanigans, the game of thrones finale that neither of us saw, and how explicit embalmers are able to get. Oh also we talk about some boys in a tower or something. Hello and welcome to We are not Historians, the podcast where we don't know anything, but neither do you! We promise we'll get better at this podcasting thing
